The Richard Winterton Auctioneers sale saw a collection owned by a late Midlands horologist go under the hammer.

The lots included tools for high end brands such as Rolex, Omega and Tissot, as well as watch crystals, dials and movements.

> “The collection all came from a house clearance which was a big job – the solicitor even wondered if it was worth doing at all or just to get some skips in to clear the property.  
>  
> “After a painstaking effort to sort through and catalogue everything we had identified some wonderful vintage watchmaking tools and thousands of components.  
>  
> “It was a real insight into the life of a dedicated horologist and it was fantastic to be bringing the hammer down on such results.  
>  
> “The collection as a whole has realised in excess of £10,000 and just shows what can be achieved with the right expertise.”
